Being A Lad

All Action And Colour

The Big Bash seems to suit the Christmas season. Lots of colour, dash, glitz and fizz to go with the slightly manic atmosphere.

Scorchers Bring The Heat

The Perth Scorchers stuck with the seasonal theme (and conditions) and withered the Adelaide Strikers by 98 runs - in a T20! That's a Black Cap's style losing margin.

Big Bash Up

Brad Hogg seems pretty happy about this whole T20 thingy.

Even though I still think it is a travesty of a cricket game it is hard to argue that T20 isn't working for a whole range of players and spectators. Where there is money I guess there will always be a fair degree of happiness.

McGill Goes Off

Can't blame Stuart McGill for being excited - someone asked him to play, and provided fireworks.

The Big Bashers

I haven't changed my mind.

T20 cricket remains chewing gum and potato chips on my cricketing menu. A bit of instant interest but I have had enough pretty quickly.

One thing that has maintained my interest in the Big Bash is the chance to see a whole range of new cricketers, both mediocre and promising. There is so much international cricket that the faces do become a little familiar.

The next cricket growth area could be the exposure of the next tier down on a more regular international  basis. So keep your eye out for more of Patrick Cummin's tongue.
